Patten,
I've given your disc another spin and I just wanted to let you know that the M83 song,"Gone"/live is BY FAR my favorite on there. The only thing that comes close to it, for me, is the live U2. Thanks for introducing me to a great band. What's their best album? I'd like to check it out.

Melon- have a listen to M83's Dead Cities Red Seas & Lost Ghosts first if you love Gone- the double-disc has that live version on it. Then pick up Before The Dawn Heals Us which is edgier but equally satisfying.

Ayinger, I must say that the Paul Anka cover is possibly the worst song I've ever heard in my entire life. Besides my humps I guess, but still. I did, however, like most of the rest of the disc. The Patti Smith cover was good and angry. I think I liked the bad plus cover of Teen Spirit best, mostly because there was no singing on it. I haven't listened to the second disc yet, but when I do I'll post another quickie review.

HAAA! I hope you realize that Anka cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a bit of a jest! Was trying to work up a transition of the song throughout the disc begining with his take, then the Melvins (w/Leif Garrett!) mid-way through and then rounding out at the end with Bad Plus's jazz pounding of it.
Thanks for the feedback -- that's about the biggest kick in doing this is hearing a breakdown of what the receiver thought of the tunes!

Oh Boy ! Now I'm confused !!
OK ! Who sent me that lovely brown paper 4 CDs package with a coupon worth ... $ if I got it back to the store ...
I must admit I took the package from the mail box and ripped it to shreds trying to get to the goddies ...
Only thing I'm sure is that I did send The Scottsies a few CDs along with some postcards of where I live ...

If it was customed wrapped it had to be my package!
"ARC" was one title I used...had some Roy Harper in there + excerpts from The Road To Freedom box set.
